    Lake Champlain A Rig Laws

    Planning a few trips up this fall to the northern end of the lake. I know VT is 2 hook (inland sea and mallets) but what is up with the main lake/NY side? 5 hooks?

    Technically,pretty sure you need to follow the 2 hook law while fishing on NY side of Champlain as well. Pretty grey area.

    that is what I am thinking as I saw some posts from 2012 on another forum that eludes to that. Wasn’t sure if there has been more clear cut since then that someone is familiar with.
